    help, 90, 110, or what!

    don't rule out a disco, on your budget you could get a kitted out good condition disco, and have change. 2k is not a big budget for a 90 (standard 1992), and you get even less for your money for a 110, and if you what more than 3 seats in the 110 you will struggle for anything after 1990. You...

    diff lock wont engage

    you could just put a stand / block under the axle, you axle will cope with that just think about what else they go through. I use a trolley or bottle jack to do nearly everything on my landrovers, I find my high lift is far to unstable and hard work.

    Scratch Built Defender

    when i was looking for my 90, i looked at the idea of using a ****ed old 90 as a v5 and donor, then building it on a galv chassis with a disco 300 tdi and running gear with all new suspension. Could always build with a td5? Cost wise it was out of my bugget but not so crazy that its not worth...

    Water in engine!!! 200tdi

    I would agree with you but, if he has already had it running the any thing that is going to bend will be. "still runs but it kicks out clouds of smoke, has little power and the turbo doesnt seem to be doing its job, makes a kind of "put-put" noise" Sound a lot like a lack of air caused by a...

    TD5 front axel onto '91 defender 90

    yes disco axle will be fine, depending on the year of the 90. If toy are pre 200 tid ( i think) you will need the radios arms too as disco ones are wider. also may be worth cutting off the anti roll bar mounts if it has them
